WATERLOO - June-18, 1815
Epilog
#normal
In the hitorical reality, Jerome's division was ordered to create a diversion by
attacking Hougoumont. But Jerome transforms this diversion in a bloody offensiv.
The main attack begun by 13:00 PM against the english center after a long but not
very useful artillery preparation. The divisions Marcognet and Donzelot knock against
the dutch-belgian brigade of Bylandt but are stoped by the highlanders of Picton.
A furious charge of the english cavalry puts the disorder into the french colums
but the most part of the cavalry is then destroyed by the french cavalry. A second
attack against La Haye-Sainte failed.
By 15:00 PM, Ney decided to launch a major heavy cavalry charge. But without
infantry support, this charge brok on the english squares. At the same time, the
prussian army of Blutcher has begun to arrive at the East. The VIth Corps and the
Young Guard are sent to stop it. At about 18, La haye-Sainte fall and the english
center is in a bad situation, but prussian renforcement arrive just in time. By
19:00 PM, Napoleon plays his last card : the Old Guard attacks the english center,
but it is stoped by the foot guards and some dutch-belgian fresh troops. The french
army disintegrated then together with Napoleon's hopes.
